Monday, April 29, 2024 - Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has threatened to drop a bombshell over who orchestrated the fake fertilizer scandal as early as this week.
Speaking during a fundraiser at
St. Theresa's Catholic in Imenti Central, Linturi blasted people who had
attacked the Ministry of Agriculture over the fake fertiliser scandal.
He asked Kenyans not to be
misled by people who do not understand the issue, as he will name those
involved during the week.
"People are talking about
things they have no understanding of. I run the ministry and only report to my
boss who knows how things are going. You will understand everything before the
end of the week," he said.
On Friday, over 100 MPs signed a
petition on a motion proposed by Bumula MP Jack Wamboka for Linturi's
impeachment over alleged mismanagement at the Ministry of Agriculture.
In his response, the CS termed
the allegations as mere propaganda orchestrated to taint his name and
reputation.
He asked farmers to disregard
the 'noise' and instead buy fertiliser from the nearest National Cereals and
Produce Board (NCPB) outlet and use it for planting.
"All these are propaganda by these MPs, I don't understand their motive. Don't be shaken, when you're doing well people come to distract your course.
"Go and pick fertiliser as we
are in the top-dressing season, don't be distracted," Linturi urged
farmers in Imenti South.
He questioned the MPs' criteria
for analyzing fake fertiliser, saying they spend most of their time in offices.
"Some events are shocking,
someone spends the whole day in the office and now says that the fertiliser is
fake, yet they have never taken a bag to plant?" Linturi questioned.
